Man, 40, to be charged over false bomb threats targeting Parliament House and HTX


SINGAPORE: A 40-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly making two false bomb threats targeting the Home Team Science and Technology Agency (HTX) building and Parliament House.

The man is suspected of communicating false information about a harmful thing after allegedly sending two bomb threats on separate occasions, the police said on Wednesday (Jul 8).

On Jul 3, HTX received an online form submission claiming that a bomb had been placed in its building, and reported this to the police. According to HTX’s website, the agency is located on the 12th floor of 1 Stars Avenue, which also houses Mediacorp.

Four days later, the police said they received a report that an anonymous email was sent to the Prime Minister’s Office claiming that a bomb had been planted at Parliament House.
